Acorn Edition Prosciutto

Acorns have been associated with superior dry-cured meat for centuries, and La Quercia is proud to be the first to bring this tradition to the United States! These woodland roaming pigs eat a diet of acorns, hickory nuts, wild plants & mushrooms, all of which add a spectacular richness and creamy texture to the pork. When cured, the dark coral meat is nutty and sweet, with an unexpected depth and meltingly tender texture.  The texture of our Acorn Edition hams is unique due to the extended time spent curing in our aging rooms and is best enjoyed without accoutrements like cheese, crackers, bread or fruit in the same bite.
